Yeah the native portrait screens they use cause all kinds of weirdness on Windows for games, but I've solved that by running Bazzite. I only use mine for gaming most of the time, my Win Mini's 7840U is a fantastic chip both for hooking up to a lapdock for software dev and for handheld gaming.

I've only flown a few times but it's been a great way to pass the time

I adore my GPD Win Mini, they're the only ones putting out good pocketable clamshell devices and I adore them for it

No but I don't even need my money back, man. You can just dispose of it for me tbh

I'd like to return one mental image, please

Not even technically, actually. Wine and proton are translation layers that basically provide a dictionary of system calls so that Windows-specific ones can be translated to Linux calls instead

I almost instinctively downvoted you

Wow, I haven't thought about Pidgin in years! Super cool to see it's still evolving.

Toilet paper is wood, while the seats are plastic. Wood is a 2.5-ish on the mohs scale, and plastics tend to be too. So they scratch at a 2.5 ~~with deeper grooves at a level 3~~, even on a micro scale. The alternative is to use ceramics for the seat, but the fragility means one rough drop of the seat and it could shatter. Metals are generally no better.

Well, the address one was an example. Smart paste is useful for more than just addresses - Think non-standard data formats where a customer provided janky data and it needs wrangling. Happens often enough and with unique enough data that an LLM is going to be better than a bespoke algo.

The email one though? We absolutely have dedicated forms, but that doesn't stop end users from sending emails to our customer anyway - The email ingestion via LLM is so our customer can just have their front desk folks forward the email in and have it make a best guess to save some time. When the customer is a huge shop that handles thousands of incoming jobs per day, the small value adds here and there add up to quite the savings for them (and thus, value we offer).

Given we run the LLMs on low power machines in-house ... Yeah they're worth it.

Just curious! I drove 6 hours to get here, and there are apparently tons of folks in the hotel I'm staying at here for the same.

 

Jerboa is fine, but... Man, I have missed the slickness and features of Sync.
